Deal: Grab a Cubot X15 for Just $146.99!

Leave a comment

(sponsored)

EverBuying is selling the Cubot X15 for only $145.99. For an unlocked phone, that’s an amazing price. When you get into what it is, it’s even better.

The Cubot X15 is powered by a 1.3 GHz quad core ARM Cortex-A53 processor and 2 GB of RAM. A dual core Mali-T720 MP2 GPU powers a 5.5″ 1080p IPS LCD.

A 5.5″ 1080p display comes out to 401 ppi (pixels per inch). 401 ppi is well in excess of Apple’s definition of Retina, which is 326 ppi, so you know you’re getting a fantastic display.

The camera is the real selling point. The rear camera is 16 MP interpolated, or 13 MP. This will allow for plenty of room to crop or zoom in on photos without losing quality. While megapixels mean almost nothing when it comes to the actual quality of the image, aperture absolutely does. With the Cubot X15, we have a nice, large aperture at f/1.8. The only other phone with a camera that has an aperture that large is the LG G4.

The rear camera looks to be really great, but the front camera is truly impressive. The front camera is 8 MP, which is perfect, since selfies rarely need to be cropped. 6 MP will almost fill a 4K display.

Of course, 8 MP on its own is nice, but I wouldn’t call it impressive. What’s really impressive is that the front camera on the Cubot X15 has a 4 element lens with an f/2 aperture. An f/2 aperture on a front camera is rare, especially on a device at this price. If you like to take selfies, this is certainly the phone for you.

The battery on the Cubot X15 is 2750 mAh, which is going to provide all day battery life.

Also, beginning tomorrow, you can grab a Cubot X12 from EverBuying for just $105.38. If you’re one of the first 100 to buy it, you can grab it for $79.99.

Deal: Get a Beelink i68 TV Box for Just $78.99

Today, Gearbest and I are introducing something new, something that the U.S. market might not be entirely familiar with just yet. Here, we have our Rokus, our Apple TVs, our Chromecasts, our Fire TVs, etc.; however, they’re all a bit limited.

The Beelink i68 TV Box runs full Android. That’s the really big deal here. Personally, I have a Roku 2, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, and an Xbox One, but I always find myself switching between those devices because there’s always another app that is not available on the one I’m using.

Deal: Get a Blackview Alife P1 Pro for $99.99 Unlocked

Today, EverBuying is offering a Blackview Alife P1 Pro for just $99.99.

This phone is a very powerful device, given the price. The Blackview Alife P1 Pro uses a 1.3 GHz ARM Cortex-A53 processor which powers a 5.5″ HD display.

A really big deal here is that the Blackview Alife P1 Pro has 2 GB of RAM. For a $99 device, 2 GB of RAM is unheard of. It’s also all that you need to run mobile apps. Some of the really expensive flagship phones have 3 or even 4 GB of RAM, which is completely unnecessary.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Then there’s the camera. The Blackview Alife P1 Pro uses a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera. This allows for plenty of room to crop photos without losing quality.

Let’s not forget that the Blackview Alife P1 Pro has a 3000 mAh battery, which will deliver all day battery life. It also runs Android 5.1 Lollipop.

If you order the Blackview Alife P1 Pro on a Wednesday, you can grab it for $99.99, which also comes with a free selfie stick, case, screen protector, and a 32 GB microSD card. On Mondays and Fridays it’s $119.99 and on any other day, it’s $139.99.

Deal: Grab an Innos D6000 for just $249.99!

Today, I have another amazing deal from Gearbest. Earlier today, we saw that you can grab the OnePlus 2 from Gearbest without an invite, but what if you want to spend a little less? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Enter: the Innos D6000.

The Innos D6000 is a powerhouse all on its own. It uses an octa core Snapdragon 615 processor, at 1.5 GHz quad core ARM Cortex A53 and 1 GHz quad core ARM Cortex A53.

That Snapdragon 615 comes paired with an Adreno 405 GPU. That Adreno 405 powers a 5.2″ 1080p IPS LCD, which comes out to 424 ppi.

So far, we’ve seen that the Innos D6000 has a powerful octa core processor and a beautiful display, but there’s so much more. The Innos D6000 has 32 GB of onboard storage and 3 GB of RAM. By all rights, this is a phone that you might pay $600 for here in the United States. But wait, there’s more.

The Innos D6000 also has a 6000 mAh battery. You are guaranteed at least two days of battery life. Possibly even three days of battery life.

Then there’s the camera. The rear camera is 16 MP, so there is quite a bit of room to crop photos without losing quality. You’re basically guaranteed a 3X lossless zoom with the Innos D6000. It also has an f/2.2 aperture (which is the same as the iPhone 6), so you’re guaranteed great low light performance.

The front camera is pretty great as well. The front camera is 5 MP, which is pretty great. You have enough room to crop selfies, since you don’t have to crop those as much, but the big deal is that it has an f/2 aperture. This way, you can still take a great selfie when you’re in a dimly lit room.

For a recap, you have a octa core Snapdragon 615, Adreno 405, 5.2″ 1080p IPS LCD, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, a 16 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front camera with f/2 aperture, and a 6000 mAh battery.

This is an amazing deal. You simply can’t find a phone like that in the United States for even close to that price. A phone like that would typically cost at least $500.

You can grab the Innos D6000 from Gearbest for $249.99 right here!

Deal: Get a OnePlus 2 without an Invite!

If you’re like me…well, if you’re like any human being with warm, red blood flowing through his veins, you’re pretty excited about the OnePlus 2.

One thing you might not be excited about is getting an invite to purchase the phone. Last year, you probably jumped through hoops just for the privilege of buying the OnePlus One. Take this year off. No need to jump through hoops this time.

The OnePlus 2 features an octa core Snapdragon 810 processor with an Adreno 430 GPU. That Adreno 430 powers a 5.5″ 1080p IPS LCD.

Let’s go over the display for a moment. Yes, it’s 1080p. I’ve gone on record numerous times to say that there is absolutely no benefit to a 1440p display. Your eyes can’t see the difference, and it’s harder on the battery and the GPU. Now, we have the latest GPU from Qualcomm paired with a 1080p display.

The OnePlus 2 comes in 16 GB and 64 GB models, which come with 3 GB of RAM and 4 GB of RAM, respectively. I can assure you that 3 GB of RAM is plenty.

Now, let’s get into the camera. I’ve heard many say that the camera is the same as the OnePlus One. That would be very disappointing. Luckily, nothing could be so far from the truth.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The OnePlus One used a Sony IMX214 Exmor RS sensor in its camera, while the OnePlus 2 uses an OmniVision OV13860 sensor. It’s still 13 MP with an f/2 aperture, but there is a very key difference, which is that it has laser focus. This is the same technology that LG uses to deliver crystal clear images from their cameras. There’s also a 5 MP front camera.

There’s even an option in the brand new Camera app to take 50 MP photos, which will give plenty of room to crop the photos without losing quality. The rear camera can record 4K video at 30 fps, 1080p at 60 fps, and 720p at 120 fps.

OnePlus also added a physical home button which doubles as a fingerprint scanner. OnePlus promises that the new fingerprint scanner will be even faster than Apple’s TouchID.

What could be better than that? How about all day battery life, with a powerful 3300 mAh battery.

You can grab the OnePlus 2 right now for $397.89 or $477.89 for the 16 GB or 64 GB models, respectively.

Deal: Grab a Zopo Speed 7 or Speed 7 Plus for $159 or $189!

Leave a comment

EverBuying is now offering the Zopo Speed 7 for $199.99 and the Zopo Speed 7 Plus for just $229.99.

Both of these two devices appear to be amazing devices. They both include a 1.5 GHz octa core MediaTek MT6753 processor, which is a powerhouse. The MT6753 is all ARM Cortex-A53.

They also both have 3 GB of RAM, which is unheard of for this price. You could buy a brand new Samsung Galaxy S6 which has an octa core processor and 3 GB RAM for $700, but this is $200, and there’s more. Much more.

Both devices also have a 1080p display. The Zopo Speed 7 uses a 5″ 1080p display with a whopping 441 ppi. The Zopo Speed 7 Plus is a bit bigger, coming in at 5.5″ and 401 ppi, both of which are well in excess of Apple’s definition of a Retina display.

The camera looks to be pretty sweet as well. With 13 MP in the back and 5 MP in the front, there is plenty of room to crop photos. They both use an f/2.2 aperture, so you can be guaranteed great low light performance.

The Zopo Speed 7 has a 2500 mAh battery, so you can be sure that you’re going to get all day battery life; however, the Zopo Speed 7 Plus has a 3000 mAh batter, so that’s even better.

Again, I want to point to the price. It’s $159.99 for the Zopo Speed 7 and $189.99 for the Zopo Speed 7 Plus, which is just insane. These are unlocked phones. You’re not subsidizing your phone with a two year contract here.

Also, since you won’t be under contract with your carrier, your cellular bill will be less as well. I know AT&T charges less money for those not under contract, now that they have their Next plans; however, you won’t have to worry about that because you’re buying an unlocked phone at the same price as a contract phone, with the same quality.

You can grab the Zopo Speed 7 and the Zopo Speed 7 Plus from EverBuying here.

Make sure to use the coupon code ZOPO11 for the Zopo Speed 7 Plus or the coupon code ZOPO22 for the Zopo Speed 7!

Amazing Deal: Doogee F3 Pro for $159.99

Leave a comment

The Doogee F3 Pro. I don’t even know where to start with this thing.

The Doogee F3 Pro is a flagship phone in its own right. It has everything you would expect from a $700 phone, all for $159.99 from Gearbest.

The device uses a 1.5 GHz octa core ARM Cortex-A53 processor. This is top of the line. That octa core processor powers a 5″ 1080p IPS LCD.

All of that and it has 3 GB of RAM, which is huge! This is an unlocked phone here. With specs like these, you would expect to pay this price with a two year contract, but there’s no contract required here. This is a flagship killer, as OnePlus would say.

Then there’s the camera, which is what I’m really excited about here. The Doogee F3 Pro uses a Samsung S5K3M2 lens, which is 13 MP. The aperture is f/2.2, which is great for low light performance.

The really great thing about the rear camera on the Doogee F3 Pro is that it includes phase detection autofocus (PDAF). PDAF is what allows users to take perfectly focused, crystal clear photos with an iPhone 6 or a Samsung Galaxy S6. Do you remember last year’s iPhone event when Apple made a big deal about focus pixels? This is what they were talking about, except this phone costs $500 less than either of those.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Then there’s the front camera. The front camera is 8 MP with a 78º wide angle lens and an f/2.2 aperture, so you can get plenty of group selfies in there and you have plenty of room to crop them without losing quality.

This is a very high end phone at a very low price. I invite you to take a look at the market around you. Find another phone with a 5″ 1080p display (441 ppi) for this price. Find another phone with 3 GB of RAM at this price. Find a phone with PDAF for this price. Find a phone with an 8 MP front camera for this price.

You couldn’t find any of those. You’re not going to find anything with all of those for this price.

Grab a Kingzone N5 for Just $111.89

Leave a comment

Today, we have another great deal from EverBuying. They’re selling the Kingzone N5 for only $111.89.

So what do you get from the Kingzone N5? Quite a bit, actually. You get a 5″ HD IPS LCD. That’s powered by a 1 GHz quad core ARM Cortex-A53 processor. Note that this is significantly better than something like a Snapdragon 200, which is ARM Cortex-A7.

You get 2 GB of RAM, which is huge. First of all, despite the fact that there are these new flagships with ridiculous amounts of RAM, 2 GB is more than enough for running mobile applications. I would also point out that it’s impossible to find a phone for this price with 2 GB of RAM, at least in the United States, so 2 GB of RAM is huge here.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Then there’s the camera. The rear camera is a 13 MP Sony Exmor RS sensor, so you know it’s quality and you have plenty of room to crop your images; however, the rear camera also has an f/2 aperture. Aperture means the opening of the lens, so a large aperture like that means that the device will provide better low light performance.

The front camera looks to be pretty sweet as well, coming in at 5 MP. Again, this means that you have plenty of room to crop and zoom your selfies.

Other than that, you have a 2600 mAh battery, which can guarantee all day battery life, but that’s not all…

The big story here is the design. This is an absolutely beautiful phone. It’s 6.3 mm thin, meaning that it’s more than half a millimeter thinner than the iPhone 6. Almost as whole millimeter thinner than the iPhone 6 Plus!

People often underestimate how important it is to have a phone that’s thin and light. You want a phone that’s comfortable to hold and to carry, and this is that phone.

Gearbest has a new product available and I have to say, it’s pretty slick. It’s one of the most well designed phones I’ve seen in a long time. I’m talking about the KingZone N5.

The KingZone N5 really has everything you want in a phone. You can start with the stunning design. It’s just 6.3 mm thin. That’s more than half a mm thinner than the iPhone 6. In fact, it’s the thinnest phone I’ve ever seen. At 139 g, it’s super light as well. People often underestimate how important it is for a phone to be comfortable to carry around and this guy is sure to be comfortable.

The KingZone N5 rocks a 5″ HD display and it’s all powered by a quad core MT6735P. The MediaTek MT6735P is ARM Cortex-A53, which means that you’re guaranteed a better experience than with some of the lower end processors, which are ARM Cortex-A7.

It also has 2 GB of RAM, which is really important. Most phones at this price range are going to have 1 GB of RAM or even 512 MB of RAM. 2 GB of RAM is a massive boost in performance.

Then there’s the cameras. The KingZone N5 sports a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera, so you have plenty of room to crop your photos.

The battery comes in at 2600 mAh, so you’re guaranteed to get a full day of usage out of it.

Deal: Get a Doogee Y100X for $84.99 and get VR Glasses for Free!

Leave a comment

EverBuying has another deal just for you. This one is the Doogee Y100X for just $84.99, which is a fantastic deal all on its own; however, they’re even going to throw in RITECH Virtual Reality 3D Glasses II.

Let’s start with the Doogee Y100X. The Doogee Nova Y100X uses a 1.3 GHz quad core MediaTek MT6582 processor. It has 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of onboard storage with microSD expansion.

Probably the big story about the Doogee Y100X is the camera. The device uses an 8 MP rear camera, which is my personal preference for a smart phone camera. Anything greater than 8 MP is useless unless you intend to crop or zoom in on the photo.

The big deal about the rear camera is that it has an f/2 aperture, which is fantastic for a phone of this price. Aperture means the opening of the lens, so a larger aperture gets better low light performance. There are only three phones in the world with apertures larger than this, and they all cost quite a bit more than $84.99, and they’re not throwing in a free VR headset.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The front facing camera also looks to be pretty great. It uses a 5 MP sensor, so you have plenty of room to crop those selfies. It even has an LED flash, another very rare feature in a smart phone front camera.

Then you get a free RITECH Virtual Reality 3D Glasses II. Thought about spending $20 on a Google Cardboard? There is no need!  You can get a pretty great phone and a free set of VR glasses, no assembly required!
